P E Mead & Sons in Dacorum

Always busy here Coffee and tea always spot on, had lamb roll today and for the price could have done with a little more thought to it. Lamb was very dry and stringy and obviously microwaved then served on ciabatta roll with a side of mint sauce straight from the jar, crisps and salad, could have done with some gravy for dipping and maybe serve with a few roast potatoes instead of salad and crisps, dogs ate most of it but for £13.95 not worth it sorry .

Good range some unusual items and local products stuff you just don't see in the supermarkets

So handy to have such an excellent farm shop within 2 miles of home. Love the fact that so much is grown, produced and made locally. Staff excellent and the business deserves all the success it has achieved since we first moved to the area and it was a tiny shop in a draughty barn.

Nice people running the place and good food wood go again 😋

We were staying in the area and thought we would give it a go. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was well presented and very tasty.

Lovely farm shop with a great variety.

Excellent shop and service, well worth a visit

Has always been a great place for a Coffee and Cake. As of March 2022 the café is now is a newly built Barn style building. Seats outside and if you arrive by bike, cycle racks are around the back adjacent to the outside seating. Farm shop has plenty of fresh foods and I can recommend the "Little Doone Balsamic Dressings".

Very nice food get there early on a Sunday if you want a breakfast

Wow. Clean bright and great service. The quality of food is fab. I missed breakfast so had lunch … I need to go back for the breakfast as the table next to me had it and looked amazing. They also have a farm shop which is quality. A must visit if you are around the Tring area.

Had a coffee and sausage roll . The sausage roll was delicious and massive

I used to love it here, but the shop seems souless now. The young lad on the tills in the shop was SO miserable. Didn't get any friendly feeling from him and he came across quite rude. Had to wait ages to be served in the cafe. Such a shame as it was great a year ago.

We had an amazing afternoon tea here! Difficult to book as they don’t answer emails and took a few phone call attempts to get it booked, but totally worth it!! The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the value for money was incredible! Would definitely recommend.

WOW! Had afternoon tea here this afternoon. It was amazing, the staff could not do enough for us, the food was great (plenty of it) and high quality. I am GF and the food was very good. Thank you to Cathy (hope I have the spelling right) and the team. Would highly recommend and will return soon.

We went here for breakfast and I have never had such a large one. What's more, it was very good. Parking was very easy, just a few yards from the café itself with two disabled spaces. The staff were very helpful but unfortunately there were no vegetarian sausages so I had to make do with falafel which has never been my favourite. This didn't spoil my overall enjoyment, however. The coffee was very good. Service was prompt and friendly. The price was quite high but, as I mentioned, the meal was so large I really couldn't complain. There is also a good food store/farm shop here which is well worth a browse. We have been here before but I would still return without hesitation.

Great food and drink. Keep up the great work ladies.

Maids was really disappointing although busy on this Sunday, it was not run well the servers were generally young and not managed well. They came out serving food etc. and returned ignoring the dirty full of empty plates tables as they returned or the tables that had been cleared were not wiped, food left on table very off putting. Its basic restaurant management and this was missing. The older servers were more on top of things. We had a potato, tuna a bit of salad and weak cheap tasting cheese. I felt it would be better to go for better quality for instead of the basic stuff. Plus coffee, not very good either, other local cafes can produce good coffee so this needs looking at also.

Good produce in a fantastic location.

Great farm shop with a superb farmhouse kitchen/eatery

Always stop here for food during cycling

Great farm shop and nice to have a little browse round. Lovely asparagus and strawberries when they're in season. Local brands like Chiltern coldpress oil and mayos. Also Culture Bakery bread - yum!

Such a great farm shop. Great service. Good choices. And now a magnificent venue for dinner and drinks And music at the Kitchen

Lovely place to go for lunch food is good and service is good worth a visit

Good for tea and cake. And the farm shop

Busy, noisy, lots of cyclists and young kids, bit of a wait for coffee which was good once it turned up

Nice little farm shop . Well stocked and really good cafe .

Great cafe / farm shop Very welcoming and friendly staff Fantastic food too

Have always been pleased with farmhouse kitchen but on our last visit I was disappointed to find that the menu had been simplified ( no mention of what is included) and that the crab & prawn options have been removed.

Good selection of food to buy, would go again

Great place to visit for lunch. Good food and good coffee. Got some tray bakes to bring home. The strawberries from the farm shop look very nice and are local.

Limited choice and a bit expensive.

A varied selection of produce from fresh meats to frozen meats all of good quality. Lovely tea room and tasty snacks & lunches. I will be visiting again.

Had an excellent breakfast in the restaurant. Very good produce in main shop. Overall worth a visit for sure.

Rum and Raisin flapjacks are to die for. Chewy and really taste the rum. Me fav!

Had lunch on first day of partial lockdown lifting. It was very good, there's a jacket potato hidden under the 8 slices of bacon. The farm shop is also very good with everything you'd expect and more.

Great selection however food service is very slow, estimated wait time for a standard breakfast is 50 mins+

Excellent range of products and really nice staff.

I had a traditional breakfast with Sourdough toast. It looked lovely when it arrived. I thought I had 4 small sausages but they were cut in half. The Sourdough bread was so hard it was inedible. Looking around at other plates it appeared to be the same for them too. It just seems a waste of my money and a waste of bread. The breakfast was £14.99 which is quite expensive when you see what you get.

I got all I needed from my local shop.

Always an interesting shop. They have lots of sauces and locally made bits . The cafe is always busy as well. They offer a small garden area for plants and statues... usually they also offer Christmas trees at Christmas.

Big variety of products. My only interest was meat. Delighted with my purchases. Good quality. Fresh.

Lovely cafe and shop. Such a great place to stop by.

Lovely place, very nice food and shops, very friendly staff

Lovely farm shop with lots to choose from. The onsite gin distillery is fabulous plus there is the pressed oil made onsite. The cafe is spacious and has big windows looking out onto the fields with sheep. Food is delicious and plentiful and there is a lovely outdoor terraced area too

Went to the new 'to me' farmhouse kitchen. Lovely, with excellent service, food and atmosphere, a must. And now returning to the farm shop and its still as good as it was first time.

A beautiful spot by the reservoirs. Disappointing lunch. 4 of us had bacon, Brie and cranberry toasties. These turned out to consist of 2 pieces of toast sandwiching bacon and unripe Brie. Consequently the sandwiches were lukewarm, the Brie unmelted and altogether an unappetising meal.

Always friendly service. Great variety and super value. The cafe is lovely too 😊 and you can see the lambs in the spring

Cycle stop, nice coffee, friendly staff.

Lovely farm shop - home-made and recognised brand groceries, COOK frozen foods, a frozen pick & mix, breads, meads, wood & kindling, a cafe and a gin emporium (Fridays & Saturdays only). A lovely environment.

Visited restaurant excellent menu and food

To the woman who works there who just said. "Hes stealing" as I walked out eithout making a purchase. Do not worry we will not be back. I couldn't find what I wanted, but you made me feel awful Rude customer service. Completely uncalled for. Disgraceful behaviour

I very rarely leave negative reviews, and I’m all for supporting local businesses, but… The farm shop is in a nice location, & offers a wide variety of products. I bought a few things, and the milk & eggs are really good quality so no complaints there, but I also bought some locally caught venison which I was looking forward to cooking today (24/5/2024). The use by date is the 28/5/24 yet when I opened the package it was clearly way past its best, despite going straight into my fridge, 5 mins after leaving the shop. The smell was indescribably bad & I’m having to burn incense to try & free the kitchen from it. I feel physically sick & will probably never be able to go anywhere near venison again, despite it always being my favourite meat! We now have nothing for our Sunday dinner and, to be honest, probably won’t have an appetite any time soon. Extremely poor experience which has cost the farm shop a future loyal customer.

A great source of locally produced food and drink among other lots of other 'country' products like animal feeds or logs with the added bonus of a lovely tearoom.

Love this garden centre! Good selection of plants and flowers.

Came here on mother's day, my mum and sister really enjoyed the croque madame. I had the hummus and falafel sandwich, it was tasty but the bread had a lot of holes which made it messy to eat. I didn't order at the counter but all the people that came to our table were really friendly. Unfortunately I felt very uncomfortable when the music was switched on/up, there had been quite a bit of noise before but that became too much. I'm autistic so I found it very overwhelming. There's something's you can't help e.g. coffee machines, people talking etc. but it could have been more sensory friendly. We went to the farm shop afterwards, they were friendly and let us take some veg that would have been thrown away for my guinea pigs.

Lovely relaxing place to grab a bite to eat, or coffee and a cake! Got more than I bargained for with the hot beef sandwich! 😍😋

popped in today for tea and cake after a poor experience at a local pub . tea and cake - great quality and service again . Cheerful helpful staff as always

Three of us had lunch . We each had a different meal and found the food delicious. I was particularly impressed by the lady who prepared a special meal for meal altering three ingredients on a croque for me, as I'd requested because I need a special diet. She made every effort to get it suitable for me.

Lovely people, lovely food, lovely nature

Went fist time and it was very bad. The food was very good but the customer service was ver very bad. Probably won’t come again. We don’t say anything wrong and one staff member was very rude to my mother. Didn’t like we said are order was wrong my food and she gave it to someone else and she made out we was lying

I found it a bit expensive, which I got,local produce, ect, but didn't find the products anymore tasty, so I was a bit disappointed but I probably will try again

First time here and the staff were very helpful

Lovey place. Cracker shop wide variety of gifts food and drinks. Cafe is excellent great food and service most definitely visit again.

Fantastic cafe, shop and Gin distillery

Got veg for the week, always good. Shame coffee machine was broken as good coffee normaly

Nice setting and a great coffee

Perfect stop off on a Sunday afternoon, nice walk around the countryside, then pop in the shop for some great quality local food. The new cafe opposite the shop serves real homemade cakes and pastries, with plenty of hot drinks available. Highly recommend a visit.

Great local farm shop with local produce. Cafe is fantastic and sampled the local Tring lager.

Called in after a walk up the canal - had to wait for a table as it was full - Ordered at the till paid - I had shepherds pie - and wife had jacket tater - service was quick - waitress pleasant food was much better than expected - pie was great - - I’d rather have a mug or tea rather than a pot cup saucer milk jug - - overall very good indeed - and going again tomorrow so please don’t go so we can get a table !!

I love this place. Their shovel-into-the-bag frozen veg,scampi,etc., is particularly good. An excellent selection of fresh veg, cheese, etc, as well. And their cafe is excellent.

Excellent fare for sale. Good choice.

Good local farm shop with loads of great produce!

Out of the way in a relaxed country setting. The cafe has big windows overlooking farm field. A short walk away theres a reservoir which doubles as a nature reserve. The cafe menu is unexciting and the cooking is average. It's the pleasant setting that makes it. The farm shop is underwhelming and it lacks a buzz. Ive seen much better in several places along the North Norfolk coast. Dimly lit and not laid out attractively or logically. Produce largely unremarkable. Needs an interior retail designer to take a fresh look and invest in the place.

Farm shop is great. Cafe not so much. Charging £12.50 for a prawn and crab salad that is actually shrimp and seafood sticks mashed up in mayo....disgusting 🤢. No refund offered when complained. Waiting staff rude and grumpy.

Really nice relaxing cafe with a good atmosphere.

Excellent service, always well stocked and very friendly staff.

Best farm shop around, great for logs and the veg is amazing

Always pleasant, always helpful. Their kiln dried logs are excellent 👌

Had a midday lunch Very nice coffee food too

Its a fantastic shop, prices are a bit pricey...good selection of stuff..excellant logs ...fantastic cafe

Generous portion of food, tasty, comfortable seating and atmosphere

Overall disappointing. Not at all busy at time of visit but delivery of food was very slow. Selected the croque madam which came completely overcooked, the cheese over the top was done to a crisp/ almost burnt and impossible to cut - a simple dish ruined. Coffee on the other hand was good. If I return it will be only for coffee and cake

Fabulous range of produce and great atmosphere. Helpful staff

Plenty of good quality products

Great breakfast with friendly service.

Good food and drink. Was busy. Lady serving was a bit jaded, guess to do with how busy it was

Visited a couple of farm shops on a Saturday morning as it's just what middle aged couple like to do. The farm shop is large with loads of great produce to see and purchase. The cafe is really good. Great service from smiling young people, lovely coffee and cake. Also Puddingstone Gin Distillery on site. They are having their Christmas Food Fair on 10 Nov so we are planning to return. Recommend it as a great place to buy Christmas gifts. Looking forward to returning.

Awful. Overpriced. I had a jacket potato that was just so starchy and chucked in a microwave. The quality for the price is abysmal.

Very busy on a rainy Sunday. An hour's wait for hot food so had a warm sausage roll, excellent.

Best Cheese and ham Toasty ever. It took some eating. With crisps & small salad. Fantastic. Reasonably priced.

Excellent fire logs delivered today. Good sizes and most of all, dry and ready to burn!

Nice setting but the food was well overpriced. We ordered 3 sandwiches and 3 drinks and it came to £35. The sandwiches all come as a mix so chicken and bacon was in a thick yellow mayonnaise. Very hard to eat as the sour dough gets all soggy and falls apart. Was expecting a lot more.

Very friendly and lovely food too

Lovely new barn. Outside seating area is nice. Dogs allowed inside and out. Free dog treats. The service has not improved. Considering it was not busy we had finished our drinks by the time our simple cheese toastie arrived. They were nothing special, but cost a small fortune, served with stale crisps and a very sad slimy salad. Music was too loud. Since moving out of the other barn, choice and quality of food has deteriorated. Service has always been poor. For the amount of money this lunch cost, it's time to go elsewhere. Farm shop is nice, extensive selection, but very expensive. A Cauliflower was £2.70, when you can get one in Tesco for 90 pence!

From what I saw from my brief visit, it was great. I will go back for a proper look around as I popped in after a day out at the history museum in Tring. Me and my mate bought some bits for a Sunday roast and had the chicken breast and it was AMAZING! Juicy, tender and full of flavour, much better than the water pumped store bought stuff 😋

Great location and coffee, breakfast was average at best.

Great food, service, and cleanliness. Highly reccomend a visit.

The classic farm shop; we visited for the first time and were very surprised at how big it was! There’s everything you’d expect and want from a farm shop including local produce, as well as fresh meat & dairy and fruit & vegetables. Very lovely cafe as well with a wide selection of lunches and nice coffee. Already planning to visit again closer to Christmas to get some Christmas gifts for friends & family.
